Think your airplane is smooth?   Think again !!

You probably have at least .4 ips of vibration occurring !
- that's over 40lbs of oscillating force at the front crank bearing! - Like a jackhammer
Amazingly, most have even more vibration!  (Yet it often 'feels smooth' to the pilot)
You probably didn't notice it - that's because you're simply used to it.
-Pilots will grow accustomed to almost any vibration over time.
What's Causing it? - mostly prop/spinner imbalance.
The spinning prop has a resonant frequency and the engine has a different frequency - the spinner and backplate are often out of balance too.

Even if you installed a brand-new, statically-balanced prop !
(A new prop is balanced on a bubble scale, not spin-balanced - there's a huge difference !) Static balancing ignores the spinner, hub and crankshaft, where most imbalance occurs.

Even if you've already had it dynamically balanced elsewhere !
(Most others do a single-sensor balance and we've often found the results to be way off! When they get a low reading at the front, it very often results in a much higher imbalance at the back of the engine, where their sensor doesn't see it!) We always measure at both ends of your engine, and can really get results!

When we Dynamically balance your prop you'll feel a BIG improvement ! 
We can completely eliminate vibration in 4 out of 5 cases, or vastly reduce it.

Improve cabin comfort - reduce repair costs - increase power output - improve safety
It takes about 2 hours and we don't need to remove the prop.
COST: $259 (single engine)  or $215 for experimentals 
Dynamic Propeller Balancing - it's not snake oil - it will do wonders for your airplane!!
